“In a place, a wasteland, on an arid and infertile soil, the wind seems to sweep everything away, denying any sign of this inert civilisation. Under the thick pile of dust, plants persist, from anastomosis to anastomosis, these branches made by specious rhizomes, as a net, a giant trap, digs up without regard the underground mythology of another time.”

For their exhibition ‘Weeping Sun’, Romy Texier and Valentin Vie Binet developed an urban plant ecosystem, concrete Eden, for Sainte Anne Gallery. Inspired by weeds, or more precisely by the resilient plants that manage to grow through the asphalt, the duo presents a new series of hybrid sculptures, between living organisms and architectural structures.

‘Weeping Sun’ is conceived in parallel with a fictional work by Mathieu Buard, curator and contemporary art critic, which is being written simultaneously with the making of the works.
